Lord, how secure my conscience was
And felt no inward dread!
I was alive without thy law,
And thought my sins were dead.

My hopes of heaven were firm and bright,
But since the precept came
With a convincing power and light,
I find how vile I am.

F Am Em F F Am Em Am

[My guilt appeared but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How perfect, holy, just, and pure
Was thy eternal law!

Then felt my soul the heavy load;
My sins revived again;
I had provoked a dreadful God,
And all my hopes were slain.]

Thy gracious throne I bow beneath;
Lord, thou alone canst save;
O break the yoke of sin and death,
And thus redeem the slave.
